STOVE.

Application filed September 20, 1919. Serial No. 325,052.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN FLINT, a citizen of the United States, residingat Newport News, in the county of Warwick and State of Virginia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves especially adapted forburning wood.

An important object of this invention is to provide a stove of thecharacter described, having novel means for directing the heat generatedby the stove forwardly from the same whereby the stove may be positionedrelatively close to a wall.

A further object of the invention is to provide a stove of the characterdescribed which is simple, eflicient and cheap to manufacture.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout thesame;

Figure 1 is a perspective of a stove embodying my invention,

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line 22 of Fig. -1, 1

Fig. 3 is a central vertical section through the stove,

Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section through the stove, the viewbeing taken on line 44 of Fig. 3,

Fig. 5 is a perspective of a cooking utensil support, and,

Fig. 6 is a perspective of another cooking utensil support.

In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown apreferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 10 generallydesignates my improved stove which in plan view is oval shaped. Thecasing includes inner and outer spaced vertical shells or walls 11 and12 respectively. The inner wall as indicated in Fig. 3 terminates belowthe top of the stove and is secured in spaced relation to the outershell by bolts 13 and sleeves 14 which latter are arranged between theinner and outer shells. An air inlet pipe 15 extends through the innerand outer shells 11 and 12 at the bottom of the same and is flanged tothe inner side of the shell 11, as indicated at 16. Pivotally connecteddraft plates 17 are secured to the forward portion of the pipe 15 andare provided with suitable openings 18 adapted for registration.

A flue pipe 19 communicates with the upper ,portion of a combustionchamber 20 and is connected to the rear portion of a top plate 21 Theedge portion of the top plate Specification of Letters Patent. PatentedJune 1, 1920.

21 is flanged about the outwardly flared upper portion 22 of theshell12, as indicated at 23.

To direct the heat forwardly from the stove and to prevent the heat frombeing radiated rearwardlyof the same I have provided abafiie plate 24.The baffle plate 24 includes a top wall 25 secured to the rear Wall ofthe casing 10 and the adjacent portions of the sides of the casing. Afront wall 26 depends from thetop wall 25 and has its lower portion 27inclined inwardly. The lower end of the front wall of the baflie plateterminates in spaced relation to the rear wall of the casing toprovide arestricted heat inlet 28. Apertures or perforations 29 are provided intheupper portion of the front wall 26 to permit of thedischarge ofheated air from a chamber 30 formed by the baflle plate 24. By reason ofthe restricted inlet 28 but a small amount of heat may enter the chamber30 and the rear side of the stove is therefore comparatively cool.

'Attaching flanges 31 carried by the baffle plate 24 serve to secure thesame within the casing. The top wall 25 is secured to the top 21 of thestove by a pair of depending brackets 32.

The top 21 is provided with a removable closure 33. The closure 33 isarranged over an opening 34 in the top 21. The upstanding side walls 35of the opening 34 form a support for a removable annular disk 36" havingan annular flange 36 which is L- shaped in cross section. The disk 36has a central opening, as indicated at 37, and is adapted for supportingsuch cooking utensils as frying pans. A second support in the form of adisk 38 is adapted to be arranged on the annular disk 36 when it isdesired to support irons and the like.

A cooking utensil supporting tray 39' is provided with a sleeve 40rotatably carried by the draft pipe 19. The tray 39 as is obvious may bepositioned directly over the stove or slightly to one side of the samewhereby articles supported by the stove may be subjected to the desireddegree of heat.

As indicated in Figsal and 2 an ornamental foot rail 42 is secured tothe lower portion of the casing 10 bybolts 43 and spacing sleeves 44; Asfurther indicated in Figs. 1 and 3 a suitable receptacle 45 is securedto a bottom 46 by guides 47.

A handle 48 is secured to the front side of the receptacle and it isadapted for withdrawing the same. The receptacle 45 is adapted for thereception of any refuse which may collect about the stove.

The bottom, 46 is provided-with upstanding'sides 49 which surround theshell 12. A plate 50 is secured to the bottom 46 and has its side edgesspaced from the side edges of the bottom 46 for providing a groove inwhich the bottom of the casing rests.

An ornamental rail 51 is secured in spaced relation to theupper portionof the casing by bolts 52 and suitable spacing'sleeves 53.

Legs 54 are secured to the bottom 46 by suitable brackets 55.

In the use of my .invention'a fire is made in the combustion chamber 20and the products of combustion are caused to principally I pass off infront of the baffle plate 24 and but a small quantity of heat ispermitted to enter the chamber 30 by reason of the re- Stricted openingin the same. By reason of the fact that but a small amount of heat mayenter the rear chamber 30 the rear side of the stove is keptcomparatively cool and the stove may therefore be positioned relativelyclose to a wall. v

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it is understood that such minor changes in arrangement andconstruction of parts may be made as will remain withinthe spirit of theinvention and the scope of what is claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

combustion chamber, a baffle plate arranged within the rear portion ofthe casing and forming a chamber at one side of the combustion chamber,the lower end of said bafiie plate being arranged in proximity to therear side of the casing for forming a restricted entrance opening tosaid second named chamber from said combustion chamher, the upperportion of said baffle plate being provided with exhaust openingsestablishing communication between the upper portion of said combustionchamber andthe upper portion of said second named chamber.

' 2. A stove includin a casing having sides and a top, thereby orming acombustion chamber, a baffle plate traversing the rear portion of thecombustion chamber and comprising a top wall and a downwardly andinwardly extending front wall thereby forming a chamber, the lower endof said front wall being spaced forwardly from the rear side of saidcasing for establishing com- 'munication between the lower portion ofapertures for establishing communication,

between the upper portion of said second named chamber and the upperportion of said combustion chamber, and a flue pipe connected to the topof the casing adjacent the rear portion of the top plate of said bafliemember.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
